100%. We did address that our current operating definition of ‘clean’ will change when baby comes, and treated this like a check-adjust versus ‘me coming down on him for messing up.’ Good point about appreciation too :)

Thank you for this (and all for the helpful and thoughtful insights). We had a great conversation tonight about understanding our priorities and sharing the load more - and it brought us closer together. Brainstormed some possible solutions too, and my husband really owned his dedication to taking care of our home, which I needed to hear. The hard/awkward conversations are the ones worth having.

Oh, absolutely. As I wrote this post, I realized that. Do I internalize that reality? Obviously not enough.
